hello,
i've search the forum for the same problem,
i've found some threads but those solutions didn't work
So here is my problem:
if a customer of me (admin) change or add a domain Bind(named) won't restart automaticly.
I have to do it manualy.
the systemlog of DA says named reloading but if i check the /var/log/syslog
i won't find any entries of bind being reloaded.
and if i check with dig @localhost or host command the changes are not shown.
i'm running the newest DA version on
Debian OS.
I hope somebody can help me!
thanks in advange
*edit*
found the problem:
natascha:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/named reload
rndc: connect failed: connection refused
natascha:/etc/init.d#
but next question how to fix it
*edit 2*
fixed:
this is what i did:
added an key in /etc/bind/named.conf.options <<< DEBIAN OS
#------------------------------------
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "thisisasecretkey";
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndc-key; };
};
#------------------------------------
and added the same key to /etc/bind/rndc.key
#------------------------------------
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "thisisasecretkey;
};
#-------------------------------------
after that rndc reload and everthing working just fine
